Course Components

How it works:

This calculator uses weighted averages to determine your course grade. Each component (homework, exams, etc.) contributes a percentage to your final grade. Mark components as "earned" if you've received the grade, or leave them unchecked for projected scores.

Course grades are typically calculated using weighted averages, where different types of assignments contribute different percentages to your final grade.
